The PSOE denounces that the Popular Party adds eight years without giving a solution to the sinking of the athletics track Manuel Ruiz Pérez (05/05/2019)

The PSOE regrets that in the Popular Sewer Party "have patented the fences of the works as a jump-start for athletes who come to the athletics track."

The Socialist Party recalls that the construction of the aforementioned facility was financed with â‚¬ 1,996,420 from Plan E and only two months after completing the works, in November 2011, the curve began to sink, forcing it to be sealed.

"Eight years later the fence of the City Council continues in the same place and the PP continues without giving a solution to this infrastructure, in which the firm is cracked, with numerous cracks and presents strong slopes, which can cause injuries to athletes and that also they prevent them to train with normality ", regrets the PSOE.

The athletics track has a high influx of users because it is used by opponents to the Security Forces and Corps, as well as for the training of the school Nutribán Sociedad Atlética Alcantarilla, which has among its members the young athlete Sergio López, known as 'The Centella de Aljucer', and which boasts the best world record of the year in 60 meters.

"We think it is unacceptable that athletes only have two of the six streets that were built due to the collapse of the first corner of the facility," stresses the Socialist Party.

In April 2014, the Department of Works and Services valued at 150,000 euros the cost of arranging the installation and commissioned a report to Horysu Laboratories to determine if the collapse was attributable to the company awarded the works (La Generala) or if it was due to a loss of water in the pluvial network of the Cabezo Verde urbanization, which extends over land adjacent to the sports center.

In the plenary session of May 2016, despite the votes against the PP, the PSOE managed to move forward a motion with the support of Ciudadanos, Izquierda Unida, Podemos and the unassigned mayor, in which he literally urged the government team "to remedy, immediately, the defects and anomalies existing in the athletics track of the municipal sports center, either directly, or forcing the construction company, if legally possible, to assume such reparation."

The PSOE justified this initiative due to the presence of numerous flaws in the installation, with what this entailed: "The impossibility of carrying out normally the various sports activities, and the danger that can come to suppose for the physical integrity of the users" .

In fact, sometimes such picturesque images are produced as watching athletes lean on billboards to stretch their muscles before running.

The PSOE regrets that three years after the mandate of the Plenary has not been fulfilled: "The last thing we know is that in the Governing Body the PP agreed to denounce in the courts to the construction company, so everything points to the fence of the City Council will continue a long season occupying the track until the demand is resolved and users will have to continue training with cracks, unevenness and artificial obstacles. "

Shredded access road and rubble

The condition of the track is not the only problem that the sports complex presents, since the road through which the facility is accessed has completely destroyed one of its lanes, so that the drivers have to invade the opposite direction of circulation for Do not suffer damage to the underside of your vehicles due to the impact of the stones.

In addition, the land adjoining this road and the facility have become an illegal dump in which they accumulate without control construction materials (cement, slabs ...), as well as all kinds of plastics, glass and cans, among other items.

The sports complex has an athletics track, sand pit for long jump practice, height jump lane, muscle training area with pull-ups, biceps and triceps, as well as an artificial turf soccer field.

The PSOE recalls that the installation is dedicated to Manuel Ruiz Pérez, affectionately known by the neighbors as 'Manolico', for his dedication for five decades to grassroots football, to sports schools and to his Nueva Vanguardia de Alcantarilla club.

"We believe that given the sentimental value of this sports space for citizens, it is offering a bad image and neglect by the PP," concludes the training.
